CARBURIZING OF Zr-1Nb ALLOY IN A CARBON-CONTAINING GAS ENVIRONMENT: STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF THE MODIFIED SURFACE LAYER

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of carbon saturation in a controlled gas environment on the structure and microhardness of the surface layers of Zr-1Nb alloy. Durometric, X-ray diffraction and metallographic analyses provide data necessary for quality control and prediction of the microhardness gradient. The results provide data for optimization processing parameters to achieve reliable surface hardening and ensure high operational characteristics.
